We have a below check in standard_planner() (!IsParallelWorker()) which should prohibit generating parallel plan inside worker, if that is what you are seeing, then we might need a similar check at other places. if ((cursorOptions & CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK) != 0 && IsUnderPostmaster && dynamic_shared_memory_type != DSM_IMPL_NONE && parse->commandType == CMD_SELECT && !parse->hasModifyingCTE && max_parallel_workers_per_gather > 0 && !IsParallelWorker() && !IsolationIsSerializable()) { /* all the cheap tests pass, so scan the query tree */ glob->maxParallelHazard = max_parallel_hazard(parse); glob->parallelModeOK = (glob->maxParallelHazard != PROPARALLEL_UNSAFE); } -- With Regards, Amit Kapila.
